The lockheed sr-71 blackbird may be the fastest non-research airplane ever built; it traveled at 2200 miles/hour (983 m/s) and was in operation from 1966 to 1990. its length is 32.74 m. (a) by what percentage would it appear to be length contracted while in flight? (b) how much younger would a pilot who took 1000 flights in the plane be compared to his twin on earth if each of his flights on the blackbird covered 3200km?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
